She came with us and handled the situation in our best interest. Thank you!

Open hours from nine to one and from four thirty to eight. Consider shops are closed on Thursday afternoon and Sunday.

PROCENO, non-tourist village, still rich of genuine atmosphere located right at the border between South Tuscany, Lazio and Umbria.

The farmhouse consists of 3 apartments one of which the owner lives in all year. The farmhouse has been restored respecting it's traditions and leaving the spacious rooms as they were. It is built with tuffo stone local to the area with all the mod cons you would expect to find in a modern house. There is a great terrace on the first floor with extensive views North with 3 beautiful mountain villages in view. The is a Large BBQ Area and pool area with sunbeds.

Legend says that Porsenna an Etruscan King found Proceno over 2000 years ago. The area was then known for its large quantity of wild boar and Porsenna after a days hunting in the area decided to spend the night there before going back to the Capital of his territory at Chuisi. That night he was attacked by a wild boar which he managed to kill with his sword. He attributed his good luck to the Etruscan God Uni so in recognition of his God he built a city which we now know as Proceno.
Legend aside there is proof that there were many Etruscan settlements in the area. There has been very little history found concerning the first millennium and it is thought that the city was abandoned for sometime. In 976 ad. there is proof of a castle (not the present Castle built in the 12th century) In the centuries the city has passed from the Church to Feudal families back to the Church etc...
Moving further afield there are many places to visit from Proceno. Within 30 minutes drive from Proceno you can visit Lake Bolsena, The thermal springs at San Casciano dei Bagni and Saturnia. Beautiful villages like Pitigliano, Sorano and Castell' Azzara, Bagnoregio to name but a few.
An hours drive from Proceno you can visit Orvieto, Siena or Viterbo (with its' Papal Palace) The list is really endless but you will find all the imformation you should need from me before and during your stay.

Shhh, here's a travel secret: this modern medieval retreat at the border of Tuscany, Umbria & Lazio inspired your host to write 41 guidebooks. Go offline and under the radar to a place full of stories, Italian artistry, and unbelievably tasty food.

Outside, your retreat looks like a timeless Tuscan volcanic stone house - but inside tells a different story. Local artist and tattoo designer Manolo Morea brings Tuscany's native plants indoors, with hand-painted wall tattoos that represent Tuscany in fall in the study, winter in the living room, and summer in the bedroom. Italian art deco and 60s vintage finds mix with handmade furnishings showcasing the artistry of Italy, Morocco and America. The beds are custom-made in Tuscany - one plush queen and two double sofa-beds sleep four comfortably.

Proceno is a walled Etruscan hilltop village on the border of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio, and it's been here since the sixth or seventh century BC - but it's remained Italy's best-kept secret. One possible reason: ruthless medieval outlaws once robbed unsuspecting pilgrims on the ancient road to Rome below Proceno. The bandits are long gone, and Brigand's Road is now a serene wooded hiking trail that leads to Proceno's pizzeria in an old stone watermill. But the ancient stories remain captured in the golden tufo stones of Proceno, and if you stay and listen, they'll reveal their secrets.

Wonderful welcome, this is a home away from home. Emilia welcomed us to her great Casa Reale, with organic honey, olive oil and chilli chutney, plus also onions and garlic and fresh organic herbs form her farm. The house is in split levels, as described. The location is great, in a tuscan village with very friendly hospitable people, but Emilia, definitely takes the crown! A visit to Emilia's organic farm is a must. We used Case Reale as a base to visit Sorano, Pitigliano, the Saturnia Terms and Lake Bolsena. We are a family of 5 from London and have travelled around Italy. We feel priviliged and honoured to have stayed at Casa Reale, and to have met Emilia and her family and the neighbours in San Giovanni delle Contee. We look forward to returning to Emilia's Casa Reale in future! Grazie di cuore Emilia!

The house offers a unique country escape in a rural, dreamy setting. The property has dramatic panoramic views of rolling hills and surrounded by vineyards. Its central location offers visits to lakes, natural hot springs (terme), national parks, and Italian towns and villages. Acquapendente is conveniently nestled on the border of both Tuscany and Umbria regions.
The house has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (one bathtub and one with shower) on 2 floors.
We would love to welcome you!

The space is inviting and tastefully decorated to reflect the region and landscape of the town. The house has 2 floors. The ground floor has a dining area, lounge, fireplace, kitchen and the first bathroom with a shower. There are two bedrooms upstairs along with a second bathroom with a bathtub. There is also a lovely vegetable garden on the property.

If you are looking for a nice relaxing getaway this is the place. This was our Tuscany dream. The house and property was beautiful. Anaias's guide was helpful with great trip ideals. The countryside and people charming and warm. I would suggest learning some Italian since this is the real Italy not the touristy Rome.

This was my first trip with my family( wife, 6 year old daughter & 10 month old son) to Italy. I arrived at Bologna airport late due to a delay with Air France and drove 3 hours to the village of the location of this house. We were in constant touch with Mrs. Laura who was patiently waiting for us at the outskirts of the village late in the evening. We were promptly taken to the house and shown around. The house is decorated like a luxury resort. A cot was ready and waiting for my son. Every square cm of the house is air conditioned. The kitchen is well equipped. Bathrooms are spacious and well decorated. Washing machine is great. The village has grocery stores, a butcher near the piazza and few restaurants. You can get local produce which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Eleanor from Tanta Roba ( local supermarket) was just great and very helpful. She made us feel incredibly welcome and her shop has some great local stuff. There are also nearby villages that have more stores, pharmacy, etc. The View :- The photos on Airbnb do not really show how magnificent this place is. The house is laid out in such a way that all rooms of the house are treated to the beautiful scenery. Travel guides about Tuscany go on about enjoying the real beauty of Tuscany by driving around. I did that, but came to the conclusion that one can enjoy Tuscany and get a real sense of the place by sitting under the pergola outside this house, with a nice cup of tea, wine, etc during different times of the day and just taking in the view. It changes every hour with the sun's rays highlighting different parts of the hills in front of you. Sunsets are just magical here. It is very hard to articulate into words the peace and beauty you experience here. The host Francesca was great with information whenever we needed it. She was also kind enough to extend our stay due to our flight being cancelled and us having to stay another night. I highly recommend this place. Mobile data connections in this area can be unreliable hence, download all maps for offline use, etc before reaching here as navigating in the surrounding areas can get tricky very fast if you are not used to Tuscany or maybe that's just me : ) I wish I come back here someday.

The farm was acquired in 1974 by the grandparents and was gradually renovated while respecting the old structure. It is still used by the family in summer and at the time of the olive harvest in autumn.

Christina's house was everything we could have wanted for a perfect weekend in Italy country side. We stayed, me and my husband, comfortably in the house, which would also be perfect for a family weekend/trip. It is a very ancient building and therefore has the charm of an old European country house. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay and very clean. In the house, everything is very nice, authentic, and in great condition. We also really appreciated the nice garden, to have lunch and breakfast under the tall trees. We were able to take a long, nice walk in the countryside but also to drive to all major archaeological sights, to the lake of Bolsena, and to the baths in Bagni di San Filippo. We would absolutely recommend this property to anyone visiting central Italy and we would definitely stay in Christina’s charming house again. Thank you for making our stay so special! Merci Christina pour ce bon accueil, superbe maison idéalement situé!!! On a adoré !!

My accommodation is suitable for couples, lonely adventurers, families with children and pets. It is located in open countryside and is ideal for those looking for a quiet place to relax in the shade of large trees. Great starting point for exploring the beautiful villages of the surrounding area (Sorano 14 km, Pitigliano 20 km, Sovana 23 km, Saturnia 46 km, Bolsena 27 km). There are two bicycles with child seats, cot, barbecue and fruit and vegetables in our garden!

Our accommodation is particularly enjoyable in summer, very cool and ventilated. All windows are equipped with mosquito nets.
There are children's playgrounds in the garden.
The farmhouse is located within the family farm where various types of jams, all completely organic, legumes and spelled are produced.

Our stay was wonderful in all ways. The quiet, the night stars, the late summer breeze. It's gravel road gave the feel of leaving the main line behind, although only a few minutes from town. The house itself was not an anonymous bed stay but someone's home which added to the feeling of warmth. The house was modernized just enough without ruining what is so nice about the architecture of the area. Nothing was over done and remained simple making our enjoyment all the easier. Communication was always good both before and during. This was our first stay in the area and we were completely won over.
